Case Study
Summary
With an on-going goal to attract more, younger fans to the sport we were tasked with selling tickets via social media to the Sydney Telstra 500 V8 Race. We developed a Facebook App called the Fanatic 500 allowing the world’s first Facebook powered, V8, slot car race between Ford and Holden to take place.
With just $30,000 we achieved the following results in just 9 days:
$1,739,320 in ticket sales far exceeding the sales objective of $200,000
A 70% year on year increase in content sharing by fans
A 68% increase in fan engagement in social media
